Vanilla Rust servers, busiest first

Sort by Next wipe to find servers due to change maps soon, and check Last wipe to see how old the current map is. A published schedule is not always the real rhythm: a server listed as monthly may still wipe weekly. Every server resets at the force wipe regardless of what it publishes.

Population clusters by time zone. Most vanilla players are in Europe, then North America, so a European server peaks in the European evening and looks quiet to you if you play from elsewhere. Use the Region column before you commit. Most vanilla servers keep the default team limit of 8; the Group column shows any server that enforces solo, duo or trio instead.

Busiest is not the same as steady. The live count tells you who is on now; rank on each server's page reflects players hour by hour across the last seven days. A server that fills every evening sits higher than one that only fills after a wipe. For a long-term home, look at both columns over a few days.

If 1x feels slow, the next step up is 1.5x servers or 2x servers. For servers that wipe on the same day each week, see the wipe schedule.
